Shockwaves rippled through the community this week as we learned of the departure of Tim Chapman, who has led the popular Averitt Center for the Arts since it opened in 2004. Tim has accepted the position as manager of the Carrollton Cultural Arts Center in Carrollton, Ga. It is a huge win for Carrollton and equally devastating loss for our community. The opportunity places him 50 miles from his father in a community that is similar to Statesboro in many ways.
